Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water holds huge significance for terrestrial ecological environments. Especially in the world's arid and semi-arid regions, climate change has a profound impact on surface processes driven by atmospheric precipitation, fragile ecology, and its changes. This Special Issue aims to collect the latest research progress on fluvial processes and water cycling in these regions and their responses to climate change, with a focus on the impact of climatic and hydrological changes on arid environments since modern, historical and geological periods (with an emphasis on the Late Quaternary period). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The impact of modern climate hydrological changes on the ecological environment of arid and semi-arid regions/watersheds.
- Historical hydrological changes in semi-arid regions/watersheds influenced by the Asian monsoon.
- The impact of climatic and hydrological changes during the Late Quaternary on the formation and evolution of deserts.
- Changes in monsoon climate and hydrology of the watershed indicated by paleosols in arid and semi-arid regions/watersheds.
